 HB> I don't know the mci codes and was stuck there :)

        Most, if not all, of the mci codes have rexx counterparts.
If you do not have the MMPM/2 INF Guide and Reference, then find your
way to
http://www.europe.ibm.com/getdoc/psmemea/progserv/dap/develop/os2dev.html
That site should contain the relevant information.  Or you can go to
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/dev32 or ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/dev16
Both of these directories contain a lot of information, as well as
utilities.

        And if you don't have internet access, you can go to the Net
Cafe.  These things have started to appear all over the place.  In case
that means nothing to you, it's like a place that sells coffee
(Tim Horton) and also provides you with a computer with internet access.
Bring along a floppy, or you probably could buy one from them, and go
to these sites.  And they usually provide assistance for first-time
surfers.

        Maybe I should have been clearer.  The first CD-ROM should be
called CDaudio01, the second one CDaudio02, the third one CDaudio03, and
so on.  I don't know if this is how it actually works since I only have
one CD-ROM.  And on my system, CDaudio01 corresponds to drive G:, since
I have a few other drives/partitions installed.
